e/d/s = entered during session

Rep. Julie Brixie, from the 69th District, offered the following invocation:

 

“As we celebrate the traditions we hold dear, I invite us all to think about how we can spread peace and love into the New Year. 

Today I want to share the words of Ardeth Platte, an American Dominican nun who was born here in Lansing and inducted into the Michigan Women’s Hall of Fame in 1999.

Ardeth never wavered in her love for others, even when they stood on opposite sides of her beliefs.

She once said,

‘The whole human race really is the family of God.

Whatever we do, affects the entire family. It affects the environment.

And so, with this in our minds and hearts, we are trying to carry out something that seems so important. 

This is our faith and background.

We also are citizens of the United States.

And we consider democracy very important.

In other words, we are persons who will seriously study what is going on in this country, what we are doing as a nation.

And we will try to stop crime, we will try to uphold the laws that are also God’s laws.’

These words should resonate deeply with those of us here in the legislature. We all wish to enact the laws that we believe are right and prevent injustices we see in society.

We all carry out what we believe is important.

And whatever we do, does affect our entire family of Michiganders. As we enter our final session of the year, let’s let Aredeth’s words linger on our minds.

‘We as peacemakers are mutual partners with all of creation.

That every piece of life and creation affects every other.

We are here right now – we’re affecting the entire world by our presence here.

Comments and Recommendations

 

 

Rep. Frederick moved that the following remarks be printed in the Journal.

The motion prevailed.

 

 

Rep. Hammoud:

“Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

As much as you prepare yourself for this day, I don’t think you’re ever really prepared.

I want to begin with my thank you’ s – first and foremost to the most merciful and most beneficent, Allah sbwt. To God be all the glory. To my wife, Fatima, you have made me a kinder and more thoughtful person, thank you for being my moral compass. To my daughter Mariam who is 11 days old now, I loved you before I ever met you, thank you for softening my heart. To my family who never imagined a life of politics for their son, thank you for supporting my decisions even when they made no sense in the moment.

To the residents of District 15, thank you for taking the chance on a new face, I hope you felt you were well represented in the time that I served in this role.

To my staff over the years – Joseph Sullivan, Amanda Adams, Fatima Dakroub, Megan Keifer, Stephen, Patrick, Monte, Kinsey, Zaineb, and the countless fellows – thank you for ensuring that the residents of Dearborn always had a team prepared to tackle any issue that came to our office. Any success as a legislator was directly tied to each and every single one of you.

Given this opportunity to speak, I want to take a moment to introduce myself to my colleagues. My name is not Yousef Rabhi and I do not represent Ann Arbor – print that in the Journal.

My name is Abdullah Hussein Hammoud, I am the son of two immigrant parents, the second oldest of 5 children, and a proud Muslim Arab American. I grew up in a working poor family, lived in 12 homes by the age of 14. Growing up, my friends and I had this mantra – six figures by 26. It wasn’t a Drake lyric, it was the dream of financial stability, the ability to provide for our families, the security of a home, and the pride of putting a good hearty meal on the table.

My parents instilled in me that education would be my pathway to success– two parents who had nothing more than a high school education. At 22 I attained my first master’s degree, and landed that interview for that six-figure salary job at the age of 25.

However, on October 15th, 2015, while going through that process, God called for my older brother Ali. He passed away at 27 years 9 months young. He was and still is the most profound human being I had ever known. He would make those around him feel as if they could reach the stars, all you had to do was extend your arms and grab them.

When you lose someone as near and dear to you, it forces the question of one’s purpose. In the days that followed, I received a 50-page document filled with stories of all the individuals my brother had made a positive impact on. And 3 months later, I made the decision to recalibrate my life – to leave the corporate sector and pursue a life of public service. To be for my Dearborn community what my brother was to me and countless others – that uplifting voice that always bet on you. Public service isn’t a job for me, it’s a way of life. 

I share this to demonstrate that we are all more than the single letter denoting our party affiliation before or after our name. When I reflect on my experience in Lansing, it’s not the bills or appropriations I will remember the most, it’s the people that made this institution great. It’s those of you who shared stories of both struggle and success. Those of you who grew to be family. Thank you for sharing life’s most valuable asset with me – time. And know that our bonds extend beyond the walls of this Capitol and that I will be there for you whenever you call.

Dearborn, I’m coming home.

Wa Salaam u alaykum. Peace be upon all of you.

Thank you.”

Rep. Hood, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

While I support the concept behind this bill, I am concerned that it is not paired with an appropriation at a scale that allows every school district in the state to employ school nurses or school health officers. Further, we continue to place additional burdens on educators, and fail to adequately pay many of those educators. Without these appropriations, this bill is another inadequately funded mandate on our schools and educators.”

Rep. Brixie, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I believe in the importance of the Michigan Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission to conduct its official business in open meetings and to provide transparency to the citizens of Michigan. However, as the Attorney General opined, there are instances in which the Commission may need to meet in closed-door session. The Open Meetings Act is a longstanding statute that balances the needs of the public to access open meetings with the needs of public bodies to have private meetings for specific, sensitive circumstances. On February 4, 2021, the Commission adopted ‘Rules of Procedure,’ which, among other things, stated that the Commission would conduct its meetings in accordance with the Open Meetings Act, and that the Commission would only go into closed-door session for the ‘specified exceptions as set forth in Section 8 of the Open Meetings Act.’ It has been stated by supporters of SB 728 that the Commission cannot rely upon the Open Meetings Act and they must promulgate their own rules regarding open and closed meetings. This view fails to recognize the Commission already promulgated rules that adopted the parameters of the Open Meetings Act. SB 728 will effectively carve the Commission out of at least Section 8 of the Open Meetings Act and essentially nullify portions of the Commission’s already adopted rules. Perhaps the Commission could amend its rules or adopt similar provisions in response to the enactment of SB 728, but this creates a lengthy process, increases the risk of less transparent rules, and will likely lead to more confusion among the Commissioners and citizens and additional litigation as the scope of the Commission’s ability to meet closed-door would be tested. I believe this bill goes too far in restricting the Commission, especially after it already promulgated rules expressing their desire to use the long-standing, trusted Open Meetings Act procedure. Therefore, I must vote no on SB 782.”

Messages from the Governor

 

 

The following message from the Governor was received December 14, 2021 and read:

 

EXECUTIVE ORDER

No. 2021-15

Nursing Home Workforce Stabilization Council

Executive Office of the Governor

 

The COVID-19 pandemic poses a particularly dire threat to the health and safety of both residents and employees of nursing homes. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the state of Michigan has prioritized action that protects the most vulnerable Michiganders. To provide essential protections to both residents and staff in long-term care facilities, my administration implemented a variety of strategies in the areas of infection control, diagnostic testing, vaccination, data collection and reporting, and emergency staffing response. Health care professionals have administered the highly effective vaccine to 44,000 current nursing home, adult foster care, and homes-for-the-aged residents who are fully vaccinated and have provided 19,500 residents with booster doses. The state has also supported distribution of nearly 1.6 million tests to reduce the spread of COVID-19 in long-term care facilities.

The COVID-19 pandemic also exposed gaps in our healthcare system that have existed for years and exacerbated staffing shortages through Michigan’s nursing home industry. The Michigan Nursing Homes COVID-19 Preparedness Task Force created by Executive Order 2020-135 recognized the critical role of adequate staffing in long-term care facilities and identified staffing challenges as a priority area for future focus. The Nursing Home Workforce Stabilization Council will build off the work of the task force and focus on policies and recommendations aimed to attract talent and build a sustainable workforce in long-term care facilities. Michigan must work towards building a strong system of long-term care that protects nursing home residents, provides quality jobs, and advances racial and gender equity.

The nursing home industry sits within a complicated regulatory framework and is governed by multiple entities across state and federal government, including the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), which ensures providers are eligible for Medicaid and Medicare reimbursement. Within state government, multiple departments touch the nursing home industry, which is regulated by the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, with funding administered through the Department of Health and Human Services, workforce development information available through the department of Labor and Economic Opportunity, and oversight by the State Long Term Care Ombudsman. The formation of an advisory council, consisting of employees, employers, state government officials, nursing home residents, and the public will provide valuable guidance and recommendations, informed by an understanding of this complicated framework, to ensure Michigan has the tools to support quality care and workforce stabilization in nursing homes across the state.

Section 1 of article 5 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 vests the executive power of the State of Michigan in the governor.

Section 8 of article 5 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 obligates the governor to take care that the laws be faithfully executed.

Acting pursuant to the Michigan Constitution of 1963 and Michigan law, I order the following:

1.  Creating the Nursing Home Workforce Stabilization Council

     (a)   The Nursing Home Workforce Stabilization Council (“Council”) is created as an advisory body within the Department of Health and Human Services (“Department”).

     (d)   The Council must submit a final report or consensus recommendations to the governor by or before December 1, 2023.

     (e)   The Council will dissolve on December 1, 2023, or such other time as the governor directs through an amendment to this order.

     (k)   Members of the Council must refer all legal, legislative, and media contacts to the Department.

4.  Implementation

Free access also must be given to any books, records, or documents in their custody relating to matters within the scope of inquiry, study, or review of the Council, consistent with applicable law.

     (b)   This order is not intended to abate a proceeding commenced by, against, or before an officer or entity affected by this order. A proceeding may be maintained by, against, or before the successor of any officer or entity affected by this order.

Rep. Young, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I believe the argument that because businesses are allowed to offset their losses, the same should be allowed for individual gamblers/gamers is flawed. There is no public benefit associated with an individual gambler/gamer. Businesses have an economic impact on local economies. Additionally I believe that the current statute plays a role in discouraging unhealthy levels of gambling/gamers among recreational gamblers/gamers. Policy team confirmed there is no fiscal harm done to casinos by a ‘no’ vote.”
